Abstract Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) are increasingly used for the management of people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or obesity. Numerous concordant animal and human studies suggest that GLP‐1RAs could reduce risk addiction, especially alcohol use disorders (AUD). This comprehensive review aims at summarising known effects on AUD.
